Bahia Property Management

I’m Raul Aleman and I’m the owner of Bahia Property Management. Like a lot of people in Florida, I’ve had first hand experience with unscrupulous Miami property managers and I’ve learned up close and personal the kinds of problems landlords face in choosing the wrong company. I put years of experience in the real estate industry together with a graduate degree from MIT and set out to create a Gold Standard Property Management company in Miami.

I think we’ve succeeded with Bahia Property Management, and I’m pretty sure you’ll agree. Take a look at the testimonials from real, satisfied clients below to see how you’ll feel too.

Your peace of mind.

Your Investment.

Your Property

You.

If you’re like most of our clients, your Miami rental property is a significant personal investment and one you take great pride in. Maybe you bought it as an investment; maybe you bought it as a second home; or maybe you’re just moving away and want to hold onto a valuable asset until you can realize your investment. Whatever your situation is, if you’re reading this it’s because you Need to Maximize Your Return on your Investment.

But if you’re like most Miami home owners, you’re also concerned about who you can Trust to manage your Miami Home Safely, Securely, and Honestly. And frankly when it’s your investment, your assets, and your financial future, no one needs to tell you it matters.

The first thing you should do is compare companies. I know it sounds strange for me to tell you to look around at our competition, but it only makes sense. We also know that once you’ve seen our competition and compared them to us, you’re 100% Sure to Pick Bahia Property Management.

“So what should I look for in a Miami Property Management Company?”

Good question. Let’s talk about what You Don’t Want first.

Common Things to Avoid

Make sure the company exists – This may seem like self evident advice, but in the current economic environment all sorts of scams exist and unfortunately Miami is no exception. Quite recently a local company was shut down because it collected the rents and kept them, telling the owners that their property hadn’t been rented or the tenants stopped paying. Take the trouble to visit the company and make absolutely sure you’re dealing with a Reputable, Honest Miami Property Management Company.

Make sure the company has a reputation for paying fast – A lot of companies hang onto your money for far too long – sometimes delaying your payment by up to a full month. Sure there are all sorts of excuses – “accounting issues,” “servicing delays,” and even “to make sure the funds are there” – but there are no good excuses. You should have your money instantly – the second it is cleared. It’s Your Money, after all.

Avoid Property Management Companies that own their own properties – Many Miami property management companies own their own properties, and we can hardly blame them, since prices will never be better than they are now. But that’s not really the point, is it? Do you really want to turn your property over to a company that has to choose between renting their own properties or renting yours? Whose property do you think is going to be rented first? Whose properties do you think the best and most secure renters are going to be put in? Yours or theirs?

Avoid Home-based Property Management Companies – One of the most common complaints we hear is from Miami landlords who can never get hold of their rental management companies. Sometimes it literally takes weeks just to get a return phone call, just so you can start to deal with the problem you wanted to talk about. You can imagine all the other problems you’ll run into with dealing with a small mom and pop management company too…we could pass on hundreds of stories from clients who have switched to us because of them.

Avoid Property Managers who insist on their own repair companies – Some companies try to turn their own portfolios into a positive, claiming that they use the same “experienced” repair companies they use on their own properties to do “needed repairs” on your property. But what if the property management company has a kickback deal with the repair company? Shouldn’t you have alternatives presented to you? Shouldn’t YOU have the final say?

Don’t fall for a “deal” – If you pay for a lemon, you’ll get a lemon. Just because a company claims to give you a “deal” doesn’t mean you’re getting a deal. Here’s an example: we ask for 100% or more of the first month’s rent, and that’s a reasonable fee for First Class service. But let’s say a company offers “50% of the first month’s rent” – it sure sounds like a deal, but is it? Read the fine print and it won’t take you long to realize there are a million ways you’ll end up paying even more than 200%. We’ve heard them all – advertising costs, “repair” costs, even dead pet removal (as if you’ve forgotten to take your pets with you, or failed to notice a giant animal entrance in the wall).

Things to Look For

You don’t need to listen to a lot of detail here, because the answer is really pretty short and simple. Look for a Miami Property Manager that treats you like a client and not a number. Look for a company that doesn’t make loud, boastful promises it can’t possibly keep. Look for a company that ONLY deals with property management and has no other axes to grind. Look for a company run by someone you can relate to.

Most of all, look for an Honest company that promises to work hard for Your Interests. Look for a Property Management company you can feel Comfortable with.

“So what does Bahia Property Management do Better Than Everyone Else?”

Honesty Service Efficiency

You may already have heard this from one or more of our clients, but Bahia Property Management is the Go To company for folks who have been burned by other unscrupulous companies. Chances are if you’re reading this that describes you, but even if you’re a new landlord, you owe it to yourself to look at us. We’ve earned a Rock Solid Reputation in the industry for Scrupulous Honesty, Exceptional Service, and High Efficiency. Sooner or later you’ll come to us, and once you do, you’ll rest easy once again.

Income Protection – We make sure You Get the Right Tenant Fast

Our business model is slanted in your favor. Because we don’t have our own properties, our sole focus in on renting Your property. We use an aggressive advertising strategy to find and funnel prospective tenants to your Miami property. We’ll bend over backwards to find you a tenant within two weeks, and if we haven’t found one by then we’ll comb through our prospects’ feedback, examine the property itself, and look for any possible reason it hasn’t rented.

Then we’ll report our findings to you and recommend adjustments. As always, you’ll have the final say in what we ultimately do.

Having said that, we won’t just find a tenant for your house, we’ll find you the Right Tenant. Most Miami Property Management Companies do credit checks, but we go beyond that with one of the most stringent background investigations in the industry.

Felony criminal search

Credit check

Rental history/evictions check

Cross reference between applications and credit reports

Social Security number verification

Employment verification

All of this adds up to One of The Lowest Eviction Rates in the Business.

The minute your tenant’s check clears our account, we’ll Fire your Money off to You…often the Very Same Day.

We won’t just rent your house and forget it. We’ll respond immediately if your tenants alert us to problems.

We’ll make sure your tenants understand their maintenance responsibilities and we’ll make sure they keep their side of the bargain..

If your property needs repairs we’ll move fast to make sure they’re done immediately before they can cause any further problems.

Fair Rates – We charge Competitive Rates in exchange for Superlative Service

We ask for the first month’s rent and 8-10% (depending on the number of property) of each monthly rent thereafter. That’s it, that’s all. That means that in order for us to make money, we have to make sure you make money. It’s only our service that’s exceptional – not our rates.

No advertising fees, no maintenance fees, no hidden fees of any kind.

No kickbacks, finder’s fees, or upcharges for repair companies. Sure, we’ll let you know who we think is reputable, but the final decision is yours unless you want us to go ahead and contract a repair company for you.

Oh, and we won’t charge you “Set Up” or “Management” Fees or any of the other ridiculous fees some companies supposedly charge. In case you’re wondering, we won’t hit you over the head with a 2X4 either.

Fast Efficient Service – We’re always there for you

As part of our Miami Property Management Services, you’ll have a dedicated Property Manager assigned to you, so you won’t have to get bumped from extension to extension in search of someone who knows something.

Pick up the phone during business hours, punch in our number, and you’ll talk to our Miami office immediately. If the person you’re looking for isn’t in, you’ll hear back from he or she within 24 hours at the outside, and most likely that same day.

Oh, and the boss is always in.

If you’re still reading this it’s because the two most important things to you right now are your property and your peace of mind. Put your Miami property in safe, capable, honest hands, and your peace of mind is already taken care of.
